What Not to Bring to the Exam


 

Books - Underlining, Highlights and Tabs

ONLY materials and books on the approved reference list may be brought to the test center. Reference books must remain as published. References containing underlining with pen and/or highlighter may be used.


Only original edition reference materials will be allowed for use at the examination, with the exception of the references specifically indicated on the reference list as a PDF file. These materials must be printed and bound in a spiral notebook or a three or more hole punched binder in order to be allowed in the examination room.


• Photocopies will not be allowed unless written authorization has been granted prior to the examination by the appropriate authorities (publishers and the Bureau of Education and Testing).


Permanently attached book tabs with only normal chapter or page headings are permitted. To avoid delays at the examination site, Post-it® notes, pull-off labels, or removable tabs must be removed from the reference books prior to arriving at the examination site. If tabs can be removed without damage to the page, then they are considered removable and WILL NOT be accepted.


What to Wear (Apparel)

Dress comfortably, but appropriately, for the examination. The examination room is usually cold. It is suggested that you bring a sweater or jacket in case the temperature is cooler than your individual preference.


  • No Hats

  • No Flipflops

  • No Sunglasses



 

5 'Pilot' Questions

The Examination may contain a small number of experimental or “pilot test” questions. The purpose of including pilot test questions within the examination is to expand and improve the bank of questions from which future examinations will be drawn. This is a common practice used by many national and state examination programs and is a critical step in ensuring the continued reliability and validity of these examinations.


In the event that pilot test questions are included within the examination, these questions will NOT be counted when computing scores. Additional time will be given for answering the pilot test questions. The time allowed for testing has been evaluated to ensure there is adequate time for completing test questions and pilot questions.


Pilot questions are NOT identified. If the pilot questions were identified, many of the candidates would skip them, and the results would not be valid. The development of a good examination requires accurate candidate response information for the pilot questions.


Change and Cancellation Policies

If you wish to cancel your exam, you must contact Pearson VUE 2-days prior to your scheduled appointment. Cancelling an exam less than 2-days prior to your appointment or missing your exam may result in forfeiting your exam fees.
